OK AristoRod™ 12.63 is a bare Mn-Si-alloyed G4Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire for the GMAW of non-alloyed steels, as used in general construction, automotive components, pressure vessel fabrication and shipbuilding. It has a slightly higher manganese and silicon content than OK AristoRod™ 12.50 to increase the weld metal strength. This also promotes a low sensitivity to surface impurities and contributes to smooth, sound welds. The wire is designed for welding all general structural and engineering unalloyed and low-alloyed carbon-manganese steels.
OK AristoRod™ 12.63 is treated with ESAB’s unique Advanced Surface Characteristics (ASC) technology, taking MAG welding operations to new levels of performance and all-round efficiency, especially in robotic and mechanised welding.
Characteristic features include:
- Excellent start properties
- Trouble-free feeding at high wire speeds
- Lengthy feed distances
- Very stable arc at high welding currents
- Extremely low levels of spatter
- Low fume emission
- Reduced contact tip wear
- Improved protection against corrosion of the wire
